They ~did~ defend nazis in New Orleans in 1961. Burt Klein was the Jewish ACLU lawyer defending George Lincoln Rockwell. My mother, a criminal lawyer, took me to court to watch some of the proceedings. Rockwell had told Burt that, when he got to power, he (Burt) and the ACLU would be among the first people he'd "deal with."

And they'd do it again, if only to gain notoriety.
Interestingly, when I asked them why they didn't also take Second Amendment suits, their answer was that they didn't consider 2A to be valid. So for them, it's a cafeteria of laws: they deal with the ones they like, and ignore or oppose the ones they don't.
